Julius: Aye, You good ? You went quiet on me.
Anastasia: Yeah, sorry, your response just caught me off guard. It's the kind of thing that any woman would love to hear.
Julius: Oh, really? So you're saying you like what I'm saying?
Anastasia: Haha, slow down, hot boy. Don't flatter yourself too much. You just have a way with words.
Julius: Haha, I'm just messing with you. How about some music? Want to grab us some drinks?
Anastasia: Sure, whiskey or Mr. Don?
Julius: Mr. Don, of course.
Anastasia: Alright, be right back.
Anastasia goes inside to get drinks, feeling nervous. She talks to herself.
Anastasia: Girl, what are you doing? You're gonna mess this up. Nathan and Jenna startle her.
Anastasia: Huh? What? I didn't say anything.
Nathan: Why do you look so nervous?
Anastasia: Oh, it's nothing. Just got some water in my eyes. I'm just getting drinks for me and JuJu. I mean Julius.
Nathan: Ah, you said "Juju"! You like Julius, don't you? Can't hide anything from me.
Anastasia: Shh! Be quiet! Don't say that out loud ever again!
Nathan: Come on, Stas, just tell him.
Anastasia: Not tonight. I'll tell him another time. I'm gonna grab our drinks. Want to join us?
Nathan: Sure, we were heading to the pool anyway. Grab us a few, will you?
Anastasia: I'll just bring the whole bottle then.
Nathan: That's what I'm talking about!
They stroll out back, drinks and bottle in hand.
Nathan: Yo, my boy! What's good?
Julius: Hey, man, thought you were with your girl?
Nathan: Yeah, she's right there.
Julius: Oh snap, my bad. Hey, how's it going?
Jenna: All good, I'm fine.
Julius: Cool, cool. Hey Anastasia, can you toss me a shot?
Anastasia: Sure thing... there you go.
Julius: Cheers.
Nathan: Let's jump in the pool and turn up the music.
Julius:Let's do it !
Anastasia: We'll just chill here and talk for a bit.
Nathan: Cool.
Jenna: So... you and Julius, huh?
Anastasia"blushing" : What about us?
Jenna: Just saying, you'd make a cute couple.
Anastasia: You think?
Jenna: For sure, you two have a vibe, plus the way you look at him.
Anastasia: Really? That's kinda embarrassing.
Jenna: Nah, it's sweet. You've known each other forever. If I was around Nathan as long as you've known Julius, I'd probably crush on him too. They're both catches.
Anastasia, laughing: Guess you have a point. No offense, though.
Jenna: None taken. So, what's your plan?
Anastasia: Ha, I'll get back to you on that one.
Jenna: Ready for a shot?
Anastasia: Pass me that bottle.
Anastasia chugs from the Don Julio and hands it back to Jenna.
Anastasia: Whew, there you go.
Jenna: Wow, didn't know you could down it like that.
Anastasia: Guess I'm just in the mood tonight. Let's hit the pool.
Jenna: Yeah, I'm feeling the heat from these shots.
The girls leap into the pool, splashing water on Julius and Nathan. A playful splash battle ensues.
Anastasia: HaHa! Hold up, I got water in my mouth.
Jenna: Same here! You guys splash like crazy.
Julius: Hey, you two started this!
Nathan: But we're the ones ending it!
Nathan grabs Jenna and tosses her into the water, while Julius does the same with Anastasia. The girls quickly grab some water guns and start shooting at the boys.
Anastasia: Yeah, take that!
Jenna: You got it, suckers!
Nathan: Alright, alright, we give up.
Julius: Yeah, I'm done too. I'm too faded and need food.
Nathan: Same here.
Jenna: I could go for some pizza. I'll order from Pizza Hut.
They all climb out of the pool to head inside and dry off. Julius notices that Anastasia is too drunk to walk, so he picks her up and carries her inside.
Nathan: Looks like someone had a bit too much.
Julius: Yeah, she's loaded. Doesn't she usually drink less ?
Nathan: Not really. Hey Jenna, did Stas drink a lot?
Jenna: Huh? I didn't keep track.
Nathan:"laughs"What ?
Julius:"laughs"What's going on ?
Jenna falls onto the couch, and Julius lays Anastasia next to her.
Nathan: I'm gonna change and order the pizza.
Julius: Cool, I'll change too.
Anastasia stands up to head to the guest room but first asks Jenna if she has extra clothing.
Anastasia"slurring": hey ? Need clothes
Jenna: Yea I need clothes
Anastasia: Come on I have extra.
They both walk to the guest room to get changed and head back out to the living room there they find the boys waiting for them.
Nathan: Well well well if it isn't drunk 1 and drunk 2?
Anastasia: Haha very funny, I'm hungry did you guys order the pizza yet.
Julius: Yes it'll be here in 15, why don't do you come sit until it gets here.
Anastasia: nah I'm gonna lay in bed can you just tell me when it's here.
Julius: Yeah I got you.
